What is unique about the Xvest™ is that the President of the company, George Morrison, had developed the Xvest™ for his lateral training for snow skiing. So he bought a lateral training device and took it with his body weight to the maximum resistance level and found that it wasn’t enough for his level of skiing that he like to ski, so he developed the Xvest™.

The Xvest™ can be incorporated into your conditioning and your lateral training for downhill skiing. You can use it as it relates to zigzag drills, single leg hopping drills for distance and time, zigzag hopping single leg drills, bounding drills to help develop your gluts, hamstrings and quads.

If your skiing timed events like Downhill, Slaloms, Super Gs and similar, those events are based upon your ability to react at very high speeds. And that takes a lot of body control, balance and strength. When you incorporate the Xvest™ into your exercises what you will find is your reaction time, your core body strength and your ability to control body balance will be greatly improved and enhanced therefore shaving time of your races/events and hopefully will help you win the Gold.

Side Note: In the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympics, many of the Downhill ski teams throughout the world utilized the Xvest™ in their pre-winter Olympic programs to help improve their conditioning and overall body and strength.
